Honor Convocation Speaker 



Coleman Advises 
Students 



New 



By LAURIE SHELOR 
The 1978 Honor Convocation held in 
eorge Washington Auditorium was 

n enjoyable and enthusiastic occa- 

ion. Virginia's Attorney General, J. 

larshall Coleman spoke to the class 

f 1982. 

The evening began with a prayer by 

lonor President, Beth Innis, followed 
y a brief speech in which Beth Craig, 
lonor President two years ago, was 



recognized. MWC President Prince 
Woodard spoke to the group maintain- 
ing that the first year students "would 
not attend a single convocation as sig- 
nificant . . ." He further told the audi- 
ence to prize their Honor System very 
highly and reiterated the value of the 
Honor Code and what it stands for at 
MWC. 

Coleman in his speech referred hu- 
morously to the film "Animal House" 
and made observations about the Uni- 



Leaders State Position 



As acting student leaders of Mary 
Washington College, it has, within the 
ealm of our activities, come to our 
ittention that there is a widely differ- 
ng set of opinions as to what our role 
s. These opinions are stratified 
imong the students, the faculty, and 
nost unfortunately, the administra- 
ion. We, the Student Association Ca- 
•inet and the Honor Council President 
yould like to take this opportunity to 
iresent our interpretation of "student 
eader" and how we intend to deal 
vith our positions this year. 
As students, we continue to rep- 
esent our personal concerns, as well 
s those to which we were elected to 
erve. We are student input TO the ad- 
ministration. As elected representa- 
Sves of the students of Mary Washing- 
ion, it is our foremost duty to 
Represent the wishes and concerns of 
he students. Both the SA cabinet and 
he Honor Council wish to remain 
pen to criticism, suggestions, and

the ever present need for constructive 
change. It is not our wish to spark dis- 
sent in any area, but we do intend to 
recognize problems where they exist 
and to back our own criticisms with 
viable alternatives to undesirable sit- 
uations. 

We welcome the help and cooper- 
ation of every student this year— stu- 
dent government needs active partici- 
pation to remain an effective voice of 
power at Mary Washington College.

versity of Virginia and its affiliation 
with MWC. He maintained that 
"honor is the gift you give first to 
yourself, then to your brethren, and 
last to your nation." He suggested 
that "trust is the essential element in 
the extension of freedom" and asked 
"if people can't be trusted, can they 
be free?" 

Coleman, a graduate of the Univer- 
sity of Virginia, has served terms in 
both the Virginia House of Delegates 
and State Senate. Coleman was a 
lieutenant in the Marine Corps and is 
a member of Phi Beta Kappa and the 
Raven Society. 

Following Mr. Coleman's speech, 
Ms. Innis recognized Mrs. Coleman, 
also seated in the audience. Ms. Innis 
urged the first year students to "build 
within yourselves a high moral char- 
acter." She added that this was but 
one of many challenges at MWC and 
charged the students to make it their 
way of life.

Young Alumna Appointed to BOV 




By MICHAEL MELLO 

Last month, Virginia Governoi 
John N. Dalton announced the retire 
ment of Lea Fleet Waller from tht 
Board of Visitors of Mary Washingtor 
College. Waller, who had served or 
the Board for six years, will be re 
placed by Sue Roberson Smith. Smith. 
24, graduated from MWC in 1976, and 
is presently working on her Masters 
thesis at the University of North Caro- 
lina. 

The Board of Visitors is the highest 
operational governing body of the Col- 



lege. The Board is responsible for, 
among other things, appointing the 
president of the College, hiring and 
determining the salaries of the fac- 
ulty, fixing tuition rates, and deciding 
major College Policy. Members of the 
Board are selected by the Governor of 
Virginia and serve four year terms. 

In a telephone interview, Smith said 
that her primary goal as a member of 
the Board of Visitors would be to 
"maintain the academic excellence of 
the College. That might be a rather 
difficult thing to do in these rough eco- 
nomic times. I regard education as a 



personal experience. I'm not one who 
believes in a real technical approach 
to teaching. One of the beauties of 
Mary Washington is the size of the 
classes, the low student-professor 
ratio." 

Smith promised to be "very open 
and responsive to student needs and 
desires." As a recent college grad- 
uate herself, she feels "more attuned 
to student's ideas and problems than I 
am towards any other single group 
within the College community." 

Smith "thinks that it is an excellent 
idea" for MWC to initiate a policy of

Mary Washington College Presi- 
dent Prince B. Woodard recently an- 
nounced the school's application to 
he State Council of Higher Education 

|>r approval of a plan to offer a Grad- 
ate Studies program at the College. 
The addition would provide the op- 
ortunity for citizens within commut- 
hg distance of Fredericksburg to ob- 
jain a Master's degree through night, 
weekend, and summer courses. 

tThe program is slated to begin in 
e fall of 1980, providing that general 
tproval is granted, as well as spe- 
lific approval for each degree pro- 
[ram to be offered. Designed specif- 
pally for part-time students with a 
bachelor's degree, the program 
'ould not include residential facili- 
es. It is possible that housing will be 
ffered during the summer months 
'hen there is minimal demand for 
ormitory housing from undergradu- 
te students. 



Emphasized is the fact that this is 
not a move toward becoming a uni- 
versity. No additional construction 
will be necessary, and the capacity to 
offer graduate programs is already 
present. Mary Washington will re- 
main a small, undergraduate, liberal 
arts school, and the graduate pro- 
grams will not be open to advanced 
undergraduates. President Woodard 
stresses that, as a select program, it 
will only be open to those with a Bach- 
elor's degree. 

The State Council of Higher educa- 
tion has appointed a five-member vis- 
itation committee to evaluate the re- 
quest. The committee will be on 
campus during the period September 
11-13. During this visit, the committee 
will consult the President and other 
administrative officials as well as fac- 
ulty members. 

The committee will inspect the li- 
brary and physical plant and analyze 
the status of the College. A report will

Woodard Wins SREB Post 



ATLANTA, Georgia— Prince B. 
Woodard, president of Mary Washing- 
ton College in Fredericksburg, Vir- 
ginia, is the 1978-79 vice-chairman of 
the Southern Regional Education 
Board (SREB) the nation's oldest in- 
terstate compact for higher educa- 
tion. 

Dr. Woodard was elected vice- 
chairman of the 70-member Board at 
its 30th anniversary meeting, held 
June 7-9, in Key Biscayne, Florida, 
succeeding two-term SREB vice- 
chairman, University of Kentucky 
President Otis A. Singletary. The 
Board also elected West Virginia Gov- 
ernor John D. Rockefeller IV to serve 
as 1978-79 chairman, and re-elected 
Representative Ray S. Smith Jr., of 
Hot Springs, Arkansas, to serve as 
treasurer. 

Virginia's other members of the 
Board are Governor John N. Dalton, 
Virginia Secretary of Education J. 



Wade Gilley, Senator Frederick T. 
Gray of Chester, and J. Hugo Madison 
of Norfolk. 

An active member of SREB, Presi- 
dent Woodard has served on the 
Board's Executive Committee and its 
Commission on Regional Cooper- 
ation. He was first appointed to the 
Board in 1968 while he served as di- 
rector of the Council of Higher Educa- 
tion for Virginia. In 1972, while he was 
chancellor of the West Virginia Board 
of Regents, he was appointed to serve 



as one of West Virginia's members of 
the Board. In 1975, a year after be- 
coming president of Mary Washing- 
ton College, President Woodard was 
again named to be one of Virginia's 
SREB members. Governor Dalton re- 
cently reappointed Dr. Woodard to a 
term on the Board ending in 1982. 

Dr. Woodard earned his bachelor's 
degree in history from Virginia Mili- 
tary Institute and his master's and 
doctorate in educational administra- 
tion from the University of Virginia. 



having a student on it's Board of Visi- 
tors. She said that she would work 
within the limitations of her position 
on the Board to achieve that goal. 
Legislation which would have placed 
one student on the Boards of Visitors 
of all state supported institutions of 
higher learning in this state was de- 
feated in the Virginia General Assem- 
bly earlier this year. 

Sue Smith graduated Mary Wash- 
ington College in 1976 with a bachelors 
degree in geography. She was on the 
Dean's List of Honor Students in her 
junior and senior years, was a junior 
counselor and belonged to the Associ- 
ation of American Geographers. 
Smith was also secretary of Gamma 
Thete Epsilon, the international hon- 
orary geography society, and a rep- 
resentative on the Senior Honor Coun- 
cil. 

In naming Smith to the Board of 
Visitors of Mary Washington College, 
Virginia Governor Dalton was fulfil- 
ling a campaign pledge to name a 
young graduate to the boards of the 
state-supported colleges and univer- 
sities. Dalton also recently reap- 
pointed Katherine E. Hopper and 
General John Castles to the MWC's 
Board of Visitors.

CHARLOTTESVILLE — So that 
they can pay themselves salaries, edi- 
tors of the Cavalier Daily, the student 
newspaper at the University of Vir- 
ginia, have decided to operate the 
newspaper without any university 
funds. 

The CD, as it is known around the 
university, usually receives about 
$30,000 of its $200,000 operating budget 
from student activity fees. This year 
it will pay its own way through adver- 
tising, subscriptions and composition 
work, said Mike Vitez, editor-in-chief 
and a fourth-year government student 
from Springfield. 

The newspaper's five-member ma- 
naging board decided to make the fi- 
nancial break after an administrative 
committee ruled last spring that the 
newspaper could not pay student edi- 
tors. 

After studying the matter through 
the summer, Vitez and the other edi- 
tors informed university administra- 
tors late last month that the Cavalier 
Daily would not request an allocation 
from student activity fees. 

$12 Fee 

Each U.Va. student pays a manda- 
tory $12 fee that is used to finance var- 
ious activities.

In order to cut costs, the newspaper 
has dropped daily circulation from 
15,000 to 12,000 copies, which are dis- 
tributed free around the campus. 

Starting next week, regular classified 
ad rates will be charged for university 
notices of meetings and other an- 
nouncements that previously were 
printed free. 

Vitez said the Culpeper Star-Expo- 
nent, which prints the paper, reduced 
printing costs by about $20,000. 

Salaries have been paid to Cavalier 
Daily editors since the late 1940s but 
were abolished in 1976-77 by the stu- 
dent activities committee, headed by 
an associate dean of students. 

Salaries Were Reinstated 

The committee reinstated salaries 
on a so-called "trial basis" last year 
and formally ruled against them 
again last spring. A student referen- 
dum resulted in a 2-to-l vote against 
paying wages. 

Last year, 27 editors received a 
total of $8,000 in salaries, Vitez said. 
More than 100 students work in var v 
ious phases of the newspapers' pro- 
duction. 

The editor-in-chief received the top 
salary of $90 per month. Members of 
the managing board were paid $75 
monthly, department editors $40 
monthly and associate editors $20 
monthly. 

Reporters were not paid. Advertis- 



ing salesmen and photographers were 
on commission. 

Raises Planned 
The editors plan to give themselves 
raises and the total outlay for salaries 
this year is expected to be between 
$8,000 and $10,000, Vitez said. Details 
of payment have not yet been worked 
out. 

The newspaper will continue to 
have its offices in Newcomb Hall, he 
said. 

The editors have met several times 
with administrators over the shift to 
financial independence, and the pa- 
per's management is considering ad- 
ditional action that would limit uni- 
versity control. 

Within the week, the managing 
board will decide whether the Cava- 
lier Daily will become a "university- 
affiliated organization," Vitez said. 

"UAO" is a new designation devel- 
oped by the administration to indicate 
those student groups that enjoy tax- 
exempt status and other benefits in 
return, in part, for submitting the op- 
erating budget to university review. 

The Cavalier Daily staff has been 
told it would have to submit the news- 
paper's budget for approval even 
though no university funds were used 
because of tax-exempt status and 
other aspects of operation. 

"We don't have as much control as 
we thought we would have" by sever- 
ing the financial tie, Vitez said.

The face of Virginia politics 
changed dramatically shortly after 11 
p.m. on August 2, 1978. At that time 
Richard D. Obenshain, the Republi- 
can senatorial nominee, was killed 
along with two others in the crash of a 
light plane in Chesterfield County. 
Several days later, a grieving Repub- 
lican party chose John Warner to 
carry it's banner against Democrat 
Andrew Miller in November. 

At the time of his death, Obenshain 
was seen by many to be rapidly clos- 
ing the gap between himself and Mil- 
ler. Obenshain's brand of conserva- 
tism, once thought too right-wing 
even for the conservative Old Domi- 
nion, was becoming increasingly pop- 
ular throughout the state. I^d by for- 
mer Governor Mills Godwin, whom 
Obenshain once convinced to leave 
the Democratic Party in favor of the 
GOP, the remnants of the old Byrd 
machine were lining up behind the 
Republican nominee. 

Obenshain won the nomination 
after a bitter fight in which Warner, 
former Governor Lin wood Holton, 
and state Senator Nathan Miller all 
strove to beat the conservative law- 
yer from Richmond. Six convention 
ballots were required to put Oben- 



Where We Stand 



Up until a few years ago the 
Bullet opened each school year 
with an Editorial entitled 
"Where We Stand." This 
statement outlined the Edito- 
rial policies and general or ien- 
tations guiding the newspaper. 
It also pointed out some of the 
basic objectives of the staff. 
The column proved valuable 
as a means of informing the 
Bullet subscribers of the gen- 
eral outlook of the Editors. 
Thus, we have chosen to re-in- 
state the practice of telling you 
where we stand. 

First, the Bullet is a channel 
ftor news. What occurs on this 
campus concerns you , the 
reader. You have the right and 
the responsibility to be aware 
of what is happening around 
you. The Editors have the res- 
ponsibility to discern exactly 
what is newsworthy and to act 
upon it. The Bullet's function is 
to present an unbiased, re- 
searched account of anything 
that affects the MWC commu- 
nity. 

Second, it is the goal of this 
newspaper to deal openly and 
immediately with any crit- 
icism. The Bullet provides the 
opportunity for a line of com- 
munication among the college 
population. All signed letters 
to the Editor are printed and 
anyone can submit articles or 
viewpoints. Therefore, this 
newspaper can be as alive with 
debate as you , the readers , 
choose to make it. 

The Editorial page in the 
Bullet is designed to stimulate 
thought on current issues. Edi- 
torials, letters and viewpoints 
present individual opionions on 
different topics. The reader 
should not accept these opin- 
ions as fact but ponder them 
open-mindedly and arrive at 
his/her own conclusions. The 
result of this personal deliber- 
ation can lead to open debate 



Dear Editor, 

1 would like to welcome everyone to 
or back to the college. Also, remem- 
bering the many and varied letters of 
commendation, complaint, argu- 
ment, and discussion from students to 
the BULLET last semester, I herein 
exercise my right of free speech. The 
following is not a complaint nor is it 
"social comment." It is only a re- 
quest. 

Students: Make your greatest effort 
to enter the college environment with 
your eyes and your mind wide open. A 
great opportunity for academic and 
social enrichment exists for all of us. 
Don't depend on rumors and gossip 
from other students for answers to 



with your peers verbally or in 
the paper. The Bullet will han- 
dle any criticism or challenge 
brought forth by its readers in 
the best way possible: open 
discussion. 

Third, the Bullet offers cov- 
erage of sports events. It also 
features light entertainment, 
human interest stories and an- 
nouncements. If requested , the 
Bullet will cover individual 
club events. 

Last year, the Editor of Old 
Dominion University's Mace & 
Crown commended the Bullet 
for being a real NEWSpaper 
rather than a pegboard of 
events. This, then, is the main 
policy guiding the newspaper 



this year. It is first and fore- 
most a NEWSpaper but it also 
deals with the lighter side of 
life in features, cartoons etc. 
The Bullet seeks to report the 
truth (as best as it can be de- 
termined), dispelling rumors 
by demanding facts. 

The Bullet accepts the chal- 
lenge of keeping the readers 
informed of any important and 
pertinent occurrences. This is 
where we stand. It is now time 
for you to accept the challenge 
of becoming thinking, rea- 
soning and informed members 
of the community. Where do 
you stand? i 

H.M.M. 




What would Mary Washington think? Has MWC become a 
bordello of the South? 




your questions about what goes on at 
a college. Decide what you would like 
to see happen and then do it! No social 
or academic traditions determine 
how people live and relate to their fel- 
lows. No unwritten rules determine 
what a person may make of his or her 
life. Rather, some persons enslave 
themselves to wearing the right 
clothes, belonging to the right cliques 
etc., only to find after graduation 
their greatest solace in Alumni home- 
comings, and stories about the "good 
old c"ays" in college. 

Thtre are more than two thousand 
distinct personalities, each with about 
twenty years of life experiences, 
packed in fairly close quarters on this 



beautiful campus. Reach out and 
smile at them, question them, debate 
with them. Talk with and learn from 
them. MAKE CONTACT! 

Don't walk in big secure groups, ex- 
plore a little. Eat dinner with some- 
one different every fourth evening. 
Don't bolieve in or become a stereo- 
type. Marines are human. Teachers 
are human. Day students are human. 
Around here, even the squirrels are 
almost human! 

Above all, decide and search out 
whatever you need to make you happy 
and honestly content with your exis- 
tence. 

Thank you,

shain on top. Warner finished second; 
Holton withdrew after the third bal- 
lot; and Miller lasted for five tallys. 
This was a personal triumph for 
Obenshain, who seized the reins of the 
party from Holton's moderate 
"mountain-valley boys" in a 1972 
takeover. It was Obenshain who made 
the Republican Party of Virginia into 
a right-wing dream by luring juch 
conservatives as Godwin, George 
McMath, (now state GOP chairman) 
and countless others into the Virginia 
GOP. Although he was a tireless orga- 
nizer, Obenshain never held public of- 
fice. He came within a few hundred 
votes of unseating Third District Con- 
gressman David Satterfield in 1964, 
and lost to Andrew Miller in a contest 
for State Attorney General in 1969. 
Obenshain was a former state party 
chairman, and served as co-chairman 
of the national Republican party in 
1972. Richard Obenshain was 42. 

A new candidate was named by the 
State Central Committee of the Re- 
publican Party a few days after Oben- 
shain's death. John Warner of Middle- 
burg, husband of actress Elizabeth 
Taylor, who ran second to Obenshain 
in the June convention, was chosen 

after several others, including God- 
win, Holton, Sixth District Congress- 
man M. Caldwell Butler, and Seventh 
District Congressman J. Kenneth Ro- 
binson, announced that they would not 
seek the nomination. 



Why Not the Best? 



Warner, like Obenshain, has never 
held elective office. He served as Sec- 
retary of the Navy under Richard 

Nixon and directed the American Bi- 
centennial Commission under Presi- 
dent Ford. A wealthy lawyer and the 
owner of several farms in Fauquier 
and Loudoun counties, Warner has 
stressed his Virginia background to 
counter charges that he is an "out- 
sider" in Virginia politics. Warner's 
wife, Taylor, could be either his big- 
gest asset or a drawback in the abbre- 
viated campaign. Some observers 
feel that Warner's only claim to fame 
is his wife, while others claim that 
Warner is indeed qualified to rep- 
resent Virginia in the Senate. 

Andrew P. Miller, the Democratic 
nominee for the seat being vacated by 
retiring Republican William Scott, is 
well known throughout the state, hav- 
ing served as Virginia's attorney gen- 
eral from 1970 to 1976. In 1976, Miller 
was named the nation's outstanding 
attorney general. Miller's father, the 
late Francis Pickens Miller (who died 
the day after the Obenshain tragedy) 
ran for governor in 1949 and U.S. Sen- 
ator in 1952. Colonel Miller was a ded- 
icated foe of the political machine of 
the late Senator Harry F. Byrd Sr., 
and ran against the Senator himself in 
1952. Andrew Miller is a native of 
Fairfax, and has practiced law in 



Abingdon and Richmond, where 
now resides. In 1977 he ran an unsi 
cessful campaign for governor, losi 
the Democratic primary to Hen 
Howell. 

Miller has gained considerab 
strength since Warner's nominatio 
picking up the support of Virginia 
three largest liberal political orgai 
zations; the state AFL-CIO, the Vi 
ginia Education Association, and tl 
predominantly black Crusade for V< 
ers. Miller has also been endorsed 1 
conservatives like former congress 
man Watkins Abbitt of Appomatto 
He also received a warm pledge 
support from his longtime oppone 
Henry Howell. 

Miller emerged from a crowdt 
field to capture the Democratic n< 
after the third ballot of the conventii 
held in Virginia's colonial capital 
Williamsburg. Considering Scott's ( 
sastrous six-year tenure (Senat 
Scott was once named the "dumbes 
U.S. Senator and has set records wi 
his foreign trips at taxpayers' e 
pense), it had long been conceded th 
any Democrat would have a go 
chance of capturing the Senate se 
this year. Miller's moderate philos 
phy, coupled with the Republic; 
tragedy, may well give Virginia 
Democrat in the Senate for the fii 
time in six years. 



Still No Immediate Miracles 



By J. PATRICK THOMPSON 

What is becoming a familiar ritual 
in Washington occurred again last 
month. Peter Bourne resigned from 
his position while maintaining his in- 
nocence, and President Carter in the 
form of a Press Conference, adminis- 
tered last rites to a close and trusted 
friend. 

Political funeral services are 
stormy affairs, without a trace of the 
somber respectfulness that charac- 
terizes traditional burials. But Carter 
endured the genteel frenzy better 
than most of his predecessors. He 
held on to his cool and soft spoken 
manner, in spite of persistent at- 
tempts by all around him to desecrate 
the memory of the recently departed. 

Having now completed his Presi- 
dential initiation (that of losing close 
associates because of their alleged 
misdoings), Carter is in a position 
familiar to Chief Executives. He is, 
one, suspicious of the press but smart 
enough to know he must at least give 
the impression of respecting it. Two, 



he is in combat with ideological ad- 
versaries for the adoption of policies 
he thinks vital to the country and the 
world. Three, he is now faced with a 
public that no longer regards him as 
the embodiment of political purity, 
fairness, and morality. 

Still, one has to hope that Carter 
will avoid the seemingly ineluctible 
presidential persecution complex and 
maintain his reverence for the me- 
chanics of federal government. 

Carter may survive his initiation 
period, but the complexion of Wash- 
ington has undergone an indelible 
change. Gone is the campaign engen- 
dered idealism, the feeling that inter- 
necine partisanism and squabbling 
and old-style political dealing are a 
thing of the past. It is now Washington 
as usual. Invariably, the people will 
look at the town ; the press. 

It was the press that forced Bourne 
from office, it was a hostile press that 
forced Carter's retrenchment. 

Advocates of this view, assume the 
media has a political character, or an 
ideology, which, in fact, it does not. 



View From the Past 

MWC: Bordello Of 
The South? 



NOTE: This article originally ap- 
peared in the South Boston (Va.) Ga- 
zette-Virginian on December 24, 1969, 
and was reprinted in THE BULLET, 
February 16, 1970. 

Time was when parents could send 
their daughter to Mary Washington 
College at Fredericksburg and after 
four years get back a prim, polite and 
proper school ma'am. But no more. 
Mary Washington is now an avant 
garde institution where hippies 
flower, students march in Vietnam 
Moratorium demonstrations and 
whiskey is allowed to be consumed 
and kept by the girls in their dormi- 
tory rooms. They may also entertain 
their male friends in their bedrooms. 

Mary Washington may not be more 
of a motel or hotel for its paying 
guests than any other girls school 
these days: it just seems so. All kinds 
of pretty shocking news comes out 
about the new day of permissineness 
granted to the girls by the administra- 



tion and the Board of Visitors. 

As we noted in the case recently at 
the College of William and Mary 
where students rebelled because the 
school administration turned thumbs 
down on entertaining girls in men's 
dormitories at all hours, this is a tax- 
supported institution. Our feeling is 
that if the Mary Washington adminis- 
tration is so morally corrupt that it 
cannot offer a decent place for a lady 
to reside and study, the state authori- 
ties should take action to relieve the 
administrators of their, duty. No 
amount of bellywash about student 
academic and personal freedom can 
erase the fact that Mary Washington 
is fast becoming a bordello and a 
haven for women of loose morals to 
retire to in the name of going to col- 
lege to get an education. Off with the 
heads of the administration, fire the 
Board of Visitors and let's return re- 
spectability to the school at Freder- 
icksburg.

The media is not anti-Republican; 
is now avowedly liberal. The on 
thing media pays homage to is its ov 
internal necessities— the things upq 
which it moves and thrives, and a 
media addict will agree that it thriv 
on disclosure. This is particular 
true with regard to a set of events si 
rounding a salient topic, such as Pet 
Bourne. In this case, media peop 
know they have interesting saga, 
which further details are just so mai 
appetizing morsels to the insatiab 
public. 



The public undoubtedly has a rig 
to hear all allegations regarding 
public official. It is at least inform 
tive to point out, however, that t 
media's capacity for instantaneo 
distribution of a particular allegata 
exceeds any personal attempt at se 
denial. A public official especial! 
does not have the time to examine o 
scure and unrelated parts of his pa; 
necessary to counter a barrage i 
electronic indictments. In addition,] 
person who resolves not to let allegi 
tions go unanswered faces a quaj 
mire of denial, allegation and furth 
denial. 



Admittedly, public officials a 
measured against a higher standal 
of behavior than mere observance I 
the law. They, as the President el| 
quently proclaimed, must demoj 
strate a strong sense of integritj 
They must be a source of inspiratij 
to the public. But herein lies the moj 
vexing aspect of the problem. A 
knowledging the media's capacity i\ 
instant indictment, how can we i 
sure that officials are not simp 
forced out of office on the strength 
incipient public outrage? 

A major aspect of this problem 
the absence of a mechanism by whi* 
officials could be exonerated 
proven guilty. Senate committees 
notoriously poor in this. Frequen 
they only succeed in mouthing ari 
ments already known. The courtro 
is a potential spot for ultimate det 
minations, but most tainted offici; 
never survive to that stage. Thus, t 
press tends to be looked upon 
judge, jury, and executioner. 

The only way to effectively com! 
the problem outlined is to more fu 
investigate the background of pel 
ticians before elections and appoif 
ments before confirmation. In an e 
where a single allegation can se 
ously affect the fortunes of an ent 
administration, the confirmation p 
cess must be raised from its presc 
congenial and perfunctory status, i 
the level of a thorough intensive I 
vestigation. Moreover, the confirm 
ing body must have the confidence! 
reject appointees it thinks unwort 
and unqualified. 

The public, having been through i 
merous scandals in the last few yea 
must acknowledge that free flingi 
allegation is the by product of an i 
tive and solicitous media. Jimmy Ci 
ter, the man who is carrying the b; 
ner of anti-colonialism, ratioi 
energy consumption, and ba 
human rights, must recognize tH 
from now on it's Washington as usi

New Bulletin 



By CARRIE REBORA 
What is white, two sided, and a mys- 
tery to most students? No, it is not a 
test on the history of China. It is the 
new weekly student bulletin published 
by Information Services. 

I,ast year, the bulletin was a multi- 
paged weekly announcing everything 
from keg parties to faculty minutes. 
The bulletin of old was circulated to 
students and employees of Mary 
Washington. It was also mailed to ap- 
proximately 200 area residents. Hav- 
ing such a diverse audience, the bulle- 
tin covered news that was not of 
interest to everyone. Compiling the 
circular was time consuming, often 
taking up to six hours. 

This year, the "bulletin" will be di- 
vided into three publications. A two 
sided flyer with a calendar and a page 
of campus announcements will be 
printed for students and college em- 
ployees. In addition, one thousand 
monthly calendars will be mailed to 
the public informing them of campus 

cultural events. Finally, a quarterly 
newsletter will be printed for employ- 
ees which is to be comprised of events 
such as Board of Visitors decisions 
and faculty recognition. This altered 
format of the bulletin will take ap- 
proximately two hours to compile. 
The change is for the better, says 
Linda Evans, Director of Information 
Services. 

In event of exam time, or other peri- 
ods when there is a great deal of news, 
second sheet of announcements will 
added for students and employees, 
acuity members will receive meet- 
ing minutes on looseleaf sheets. 



New Professors 



By JANE OPITZ 



Scalingi 



This semester, the all male history 
department has been enhanced by the 
addition of Dr. Paula Scalingi as in- 
structor at MWC. Scalingi who re- 
cently completed her doctorate in Eu- 
ropean Diplomatic History, thinks 
Mary Washington College is a lovely 
liberal arts college. 

She especially likes the small 
classes at MWC. This is a contrast 
from classes with 60-120 people where 
she taught while in Florida. Modern 
Europe, European Diplomacy and 
U.S. Diplomacy are the courses Sca- 
lingi is teaching at MWC. 

Scalingi says that she hopes to 



teach so that the students enjoy the 
course and also learn as much as she 
has to teach. 

She has a wide range of experience 
from working on the MIAMI HE- 
RALD to teaching at Florida State 
University and Tallahassee Commu- 
nity College. 

Being from Florida, Fredericks- 
burg will be a change for her. She 
says that people here all seem to know 
each other and are very friendly. 

Scalingi hopes to learn about the 
history of this area and visit historical 
points of interest while doing research 
in Washington. 



Brookstone 



Another addition to the MWC teach- 
ing faculty is Jeff Brookstone. Brook- 
stone teaches Economics of Money 
and Banking, International Economy, 
and Principles of Macro Economics in 
the Economics/Political Science de- 
partment. 

The new educator says that he 
hopes to help economics students at 
MWC become trained economists and 
give them insights into the disparities 
between the United States and other 
countries. Another objective of Brook- 
stone's is to interest his students in 
books as opposed to television. He 
feels that there is a certain radiance 



about MWC. He added that Mary 
Washington has a nice physical set- 
ting with a good faculty, making a 
solid setting for a liberal arts college. 
Using a quote from Einstein, Brook- 
stone says, "The most difficult thing 
to study besides physics in politics." 
Brookstone adds that economics is 
like the study of politics. 

Brookstone chose Mary Washington 
College because he enjoys teaching 
and the College is a close commute 
from his home in Alexandria. Brook- 
stone has lived in Florida, Georgia, 
the District of Columbia and India.

Club Clowns 



By CYNTHIA NASH 
Marking the beginning of another 
school year, the Inter-Club Associa- 
tion (ICA) sponsored a Club Carnival 
on Ball Circle on Thursday, Septem- 
ber?. 

The carnival was designed to ac- 
quaint new and returning students 
with opportunities available to them 
in the camrjus clubs and honor socie- 
ties. Other activities held at the fair 
included entertainment from students 
dressed up as clowns, an auction of 
accessories for the dorm rooms, and a 
hotdog, cotton candy, and snow cone 
sale.

The first formal meeting of the Af-

Washington College was held Thursday, 
September 7, in Room 305 of ACL. Dr. 
Dale Brown, the club's advisor, was 
present. The meeting was called to 
order by the club's president, Cynthia 
Samuels. 

Officers for the 1978-79 club year were 
elected. They are as follows: Cedric 
Rucker— Vice President, Pat Thomas-

will in turn submit it to the Governor 
of Virginia and the State General As- 
sembly. It is expected that the Gen- 
eral Assembly will act upon the re- 
quest and grant final approval during 
the 1979 session. The final step will be 
a formal application for accreditation 
from the Southern Association of Col- 
leges and Schools, as an institution 
conferring the Master's degree. 



According to Nona Wegner, Assis- 
ant Dean for Students, the Club Car- 
nival was beneficial to the students. 
"It gave the freshmen and everybody 

a chance to sign up for clubs." Addi- 
tionally, "Money was raised for the 
Regional College Fund through the 
auction." 

',-..(' 
The ICA club fair was the first de- 
signed specifically as a carnival and 
held outside. In the past, the fair has 
been held in the Ballroom.

Announcements made at some up- 
perclass dorm meetings this year, 
stating that Mary Washington College 
President Prince B. Woodard did not 
think that MWC students knew the 
basics of formal dress and etiquette 

have been called the "opposite of the 
truth . . . categorically not true" by 
President Woodard. 



When informed of the statements 
attributed to him, President Woodard 
was amazed. Saying that he has 
"never seen a group (of college stu- 
dents) with better social graces," the 
President expressed the desire that 
the matter be immediately clarified. 

Giving the specific example of the 
recent freshman visit to Brompton, 
President Woodard reiterated that 
Mary Washington students were "su- 
perior" in both etiquette and dress.

WMWC 
A Reality ! 



By CYNTHIA ANDERSON 

WMWC is a reality. After five years 
of planning, Mary Washington's sec- 
ond attempt at a radio station is pre- 
pared to begin operation on October 
15 of this year. 

Operating at 540 on the a.m. dial, 
the station will rely on a carrier cur- 
rent. This involves the transmission 
of radio waves directly into the 
dorms, academic buildings, ACL, 
Mercer Hall, and Seacobeck during 
the proposed times of 11:30 a.m. to 
1 : 30 p.m. and 4 : 30 p.m. to 12 : 00. 

Popular music, classical master- 
pieces, past trends in rock, inter- 
views, news, current events, and 
student- faculty dialogues will be 
featured. 

There is one possible problem, how- 
ever: construction has not yet begun 
on the station, which will be located 
atop ACL in the owl's nest. Dick Ma- 
niscalco, director of the college audio- 
visual department, drew up plans for 
construction; these plans include an 
air conditioned, soundproof room with 



lowered ceilings and shelves /for the 
equipment. 

The station has already purchased 
the necessary equipment, but more 
funds are needed to build up a suffi- 
cient library of records as well as to 
purchase more recording equipment. 

To raise this money, the station is 
sponsoring "The Nighthawks" in con- 
cert along with "The All Stars" on Oc- , 
tober 13, an endeavor which will be ' 
fruitful if the student body will offe# 
its support. 

The radio club is working to train* 
all those interested in the station so • 
that the opening day will run j, 
smoothly. Jeannie Weller, the Station 
Manager, said that, at first, the radio \ 
will be a "trial and error" effort, sO 
"the college will have to bear with : 
us." Weller is optimistic about the . 
station's future. There was a large . 
turnout at the first meeting of the , 
year, which reinforced Jeannie's opti- 
mism that WMWC will be a public ' 
service to the campus.

Rugby Prognosis Good 



By DEAN BALL 

Once again the MWC Rugby Club 
will be out rucking and running. Hope- 
fully , many students will be interested 
enough to find out how the game of 
rugby is played, and how the MWC 
team will fare this season. There is a 
full fall season with games scheduled 
into November. The game should get 
some attention, being the only orga- 
nized contact sport on campus. The 
rugby players, known as much for 
their parties as for their playing, urge 
all students to support the team. 

This season should offer more for 
the fans. Nearly all of last year's 



team returns to the pitch. Terrenoe 
Lynch and Richard Evans provide 
size and speed at the props; and along 
with Steve Schlimgen, last year's 
most improved player, should hold 
the scrum together. David Shaw, last 
year's high scorer, will see plenty of 
action at hooker. Shaw's accurate foot 
should provide much excitement this 
season. Transfer Cris Rowland, an ex- 
perienced scrum half, will fill the po- 
sition held by Bill Christie, one of last 
year's stars. 

Rugby is a fast-paced game de- 
signed to test the players skill and en- 
durance. Teams of fifteen players at-

Davies Heads Hoopsters 



By JULIE HARRELL 

The physical education department 
has a new member. Tom Davies has 
come to Mary Washington College as 
a P.E. instructor and coach for men's 
basketball and cross country. Mr. Da- 
vies, a native Virginian, graduated 
from high school in the Virginia area. 
He attended Brigham Young Univer- 
sity where he received his B A. and 
Masters degrees. 

Mr. Davies has extensive experi- 
ence as both an instructor and a 
coach. While at Washington-Lee Col- 
lege in Lexington, Virginia, he was an 
assistant basketball coach for seven 
years and a tennis coach for four 
years. While attending Brigham 
Young University for his Masters de- 
gree he also helped coach basketball. 
For the past three years, Davies has 
been at American University in Wash- 
ington, D.C. as an assistant basket- 
ball coach. 

Presently, as an instructor at MWC, 
Mr. Davies is involved with teaching 
tennis and individual exercise 
classes. Later in the year he will be in- 
volved with coaching the men's bas- 
ketball team and getting a cross coun- 
try team underway. Mr. Davies sees 
no need for "rivalry" between the 
men's and women's teams, but feels 



MWC should do the best with the pro- 
grams on both sides. 

Mr. Davies has two main goals. 
First, he would like to see an improve- 
ment in team schedules. For exam- 
ple, he would like to see less involve- 
ment with junior colleges, and more 
with four year institutions. In the 
long-run he would like to schedule 
more matches with larger univer- 
sities in division I spots for experience 
purposes. Secondly, Mr. Davies would 
like to see more recruitment, not in 
scholarships but by talking to high 
school athletes and telling them what 
MWC has to offer. 

When asked why he came to MWC, 
Mr. Davies replied that he had looked 
into MWC before the opening was 
available. Tom Davies sees Mary 
Washington College as one of poten- 
tial, especially towards his main in- 
terest, basketball. He sees more room 
for advancement in the men's basket- 
ball program within the small college 
district. Overall, Mr. Davies feels he 
will be pleased with the long term pro- 
spects of MWC and what it will have 
to offer.

LANDOVER, Md.— Back by popu- 
lar demand, those furry, funloving 
friends from Sesame Street will skate 
their way into your hearts in this 
year's edition of Holiday on Ice, ap- 
pearing at Capital Centre for seven 
spectacular shows, Sept. 27-Oct. 1. 

Those marvelous Muppets are at 
their finest in the chilly but heart- 
warming setting of "Wintertime on 
Sesame Street." Everybody's favor- 
ite street is glistening with newly 
fallen snow as those lovable bundles 
of fur and feathers— Big Bird, Bert, 
Ernie, The Count and Betty Lou— pre- 
sent their zany antics on ice. 

The happiest street in town wel- 
comes a new member to the fun fam- 
ily in this year's appearance at Capi- 
tal Centre. It's the delightful 
harrumph, Snuffle-Upagus, and chil- 
dren of all ages will welcome him with 
open arms!

As a finishing touch, the whole gang 
returns to the ice for a second riotous 
routine a little later in the show. This 
time, it's to make some new friends 
and to help The Count teach us a fun 
way with numbers— all in the spark- 
ling Sesame Street tradition. 

The Muppets will be joined by the 
talented Jimmy Crockett, Angela 
Greenhow, the Baker family, Gerard 
Soules and his Poodles de Paris, dare- 
devil David Comb and a host of other 
stars in this year's Holiday on Ice 
show. Opening night is scheduled for 
Wednesday, Sept. 27 at 7:30 p.m. with 
shows Thursday and Friday night at 8 
p.m., and two performances on Sat- 



tempt to advance the ball across the 
try line. Each team has a try line, and 
they are 40 meters apart. Forward 
passes are illegal, and players must 
release the ball when downed. Kick- 
ing the ball is allowed. The absence of 
pads makes tackling more intimate. 

This season's team plays a full 
eight-game schedule. All home 
matches are played on the golf 
course.

Tyler Hall 



Notes From the Underground 



Nutcracker: 
Major Merits 



By JOHN M. COSKI 

Requests at Mason Hall's front desk 
for decidedly male names met with 
blank stares the first week of this fall 
semester until the campus began to 
realize that the barrage of residence 
hall changes begun last spring had 
presented Mary Washington tradi- 
tionalists with one more sudden unfa- 
thomable situation. 

Tyler Hall, previously known as 
Mason First tunnel, is, at least for a 
year, to be occupied by male transfer 
students. i 



Sex Tat 



Margaret Mead today praised 
college students living in coeducation- 
al dormitories for developing a kind of 
"taboo" against serious dating 
among themselves, saying it will help 
prepare them for future non-sexist re- 
lations in the working world. 

"Young women and young men who 
later will have to work side by side, in 
superordinate and subordinate rela- 
tions as well as equals and members 
of a team, are finding their way to- 
ward a kind of harmony in which ex- 
ploitative sex is set aside in favor of 
mutual concern, shared interests and 
a new sense of friendship," Dr. Mead 
explained in her monthly column in 
the current (April) issue of Redbook 
magazine, released today. 

Dr. Mead added that although 
many of their elders objected to co- 
educational dormitories, assuming 
them to be a vehicle for freer sexual 
access, young men and women have 
used the living situation to become 

friends and to discover that they are 
alike as people in many ways. 

"It is just a beginning, but students 
can set a style that will carry over 
into working relations in which skill, 
ability and experience are the criteria 

by which persons are judged, and ap- 
preciation of a woman or a man as a 
whole person will deeply modify the 
exploitation and the anguish of sexual 
inequality," Dr. Mead commented. 



The name was selected because 
Presidents John Tyler and Woodrow 
Wilson are the only Virginia Presi- 
dents not honored by a namesake on 
this campus. 

According to Dean of Student Serv- 
ices, Juanita H. Clement, the decision 
to use first tunnel for the male trans- 
fer overflow was made only two 
weeks prior to the start of the fall se- 
mester. 

Junior Clifford Hart ( in his second 
year at MWCi will be the dorm's Ad- 
ministrative Aide: the limited size of 
the hall making a small house envi- 
ronment more feasible than the usual 
dormitory system. Hart commented, 
though, that Tyler lacks the architec- 
ture of a small house and is, for all 
practical purposes, a dorm. It is, in 
the realest sense, a hall. 

The "honor desk" that Tyler uti- 
lizes (each resident has an all-hours 
hall key) has been looked upon with 
scorn by those who consider it strictly 
a privilege. Otherwise, this rarely- 
used system is regarded merely as an 
expedient. 

Thus far, the major topic of dis- 
cussion regarding Tyler has been its 
shortcomings as a self-contained dor- 
mitory. 

It is equipped with a recreation 
room of a well-received quality, but it 
has no laundry or kitchen facilities. 
Officially, the residents' laundrv is to 



be done in Bushnell Hall. Dean Cle- 
ment corroborated the notion that a 
small washer and dryer, and even a 
stove might be furnished for Tyler. 

Action has been initiated to remedy 
the blandness of the newly white- 
washed hall walls. Murals have been 
suggested to eliminate the cavern-like 
effect of the lone hallway. 

The metal bars on the low windows 
overlooking the town are said to have 
a depressing effect on the residents, 
but are to stay on as a deterrent to 
theft. There has been little complaint 
over this decision. 

Living in what appears from Cam- 
pus Drive to be an underground tun- 
nel and surrounded by 350 freshmen 
and women arelOupperclassmen who 
resent the notion thai their seclusion 
and transfer status has isolated them 
from the campus. The group, de- 
scribed as "remarkably cohesive," 
has proven quite active in both stu- 
dent affairs and social functions. 

The hall's limited access to the rear 
of the building (the doorways into 
Mason having been partitioned) pre- 
sents no problem to the satisfied resi- 
dents and, according to Dean Cle- 
ment, complies with all safety 
regulations. 

Dean Clement also dismissed the 
other conceivable alternatives to the 
"creation" of Tyler Hall as impracti-

cal or contrary to the policy of placing 
only freshmen in freshmen hallsPlans 
such as maneuvering the upperclass, 
freshmen and transfer male popula- 
tion or using such resources as Wil- 
lard Hall's now defunct "Psych 
Ward" were hardly considered. 

Administrative Aide Hart was im- 
pressed by what he termed the expe- 
dience of the entire project and the ex- 
pected impermanence of it. Dean 
Clement concurred, citing the neces- 
sity of accomodating the constantly 
rotating enrollment, noting that "stu- 
dent housing is, of cou. se, an adminis- 
trative decision." 



By J. PATRICK THOMPSON 

Like anyone else at Mary Washing- 
ton College I am frequently asked to 
identify myself when meeting new 
people, and always the question is 
"What's your major?" If I'd an- 
swered by saying that I was an Kn- 
glish major, I'm sure I'd hear wheels 
clicking, the shuffling of various com- 
puter cards, and a buzzer which 
would tell me the process is complete. 
There'd be a funny little smile and I'd 
know I was coded as a "head-in-the- 
clouds English major." It is with the 
intention of cracking these mental 
nutshells that I'd try to answer the 
question "Why study literature?" 



Custis Undergoes 
Sex Change 



In the spring of 1977, the residents of 
Mary Custis Hall staged a campus- 
wide protest against the decision that 
the small home of 40 upperclass 
women would become a freshman 
residence hall. 

This semester, while 40 upperclass 
males filled the three floors of Custis 
Hall, there was none of the extreme 
dissatisfaction that the dormitory's 
earlier change of status met. The rad- 
ical change from the 1976-77 "exclu- 
sive" female residence hall culmi- 
nates an effort to give Mary 
Washington upperclass males an al- 
ternative to living in co-educational 
dormitories. 

Two polls conducted by the Resi- 
dential Council last spring deter- 
mined that enough MWC men pre- 
ferred an all-male dorm to either 
Westmoreland or Bushnell Halls. The 



relatively low enrollment of freshman 
girls has made the status change eas- 
ier to manage, and a large population 
of male transfer students has served 
to fill Custis' 22 rooms. 

Mrs. Doris Keel, previously the 
Residence Director of Mason Hall, 
has accepted the task of overseeing 
the campus' first all-male upperclass 
dormitory. Junior Paul Hawke was 
elected Hall President last April; 
Charles "Chico" Rodriguez has filled 
the post of Hall Judicial Chairman. 

Custis, unlike newly-billed Tyler 
Hall, was not a product of necessity. It 
is looked upon by some (because of 
expectations that its occupants and 
size will be condusive to rowdiness) 
as a "great experiment." Mrs. Keel 
has expressed a willingness to accept 
this challenge and says she "is 
looking forward to a great year." 



Studying literature has nothing to 
do with such everyday activities as 
filling one's car with gas, drinking ;i 
beer, and eating a sandwich, but nei- 
ther does studying chemistry or ma- 
thematics. All disciplines pursued in 
college share this unrelatedness to the 
little mechanical things people do 
everyday, and this is perhaps why 
non-college people find it hard to un- 
derstand anyone spending so much 
time with books. 

The assumption that intellectual en- 
deavor is worthless is, unfortunately, 
picked up by many university and col- 
lege students, but they modify this at- 
titude by saying that, provided intel- 
lectual pursuits have practical ends, 
the sacrifice of several years is worth- 
while. This sacrifice will not only give 
a Washie a more comfortable life in 
terms of financial benefits, but it may 
also allow him or her into a profession 
claiming to some real social good. 
More than once, I have wondered how 
infinitely happy an Economics major 
must be basking in his social useful- 
ness and the knowledge that the buy- 
ing and selling of goods is the basis for 
all worldly happiness. 

The English major, on the other 
hand, is forced into a position of de- 
fense, especially since studying liter 
ature provides one with no ready illu- 
sions regarding social utility. I have 
frequently tried to imagine the social 
benefits of literature and the one that 
most readily comes to mind is the 
ability literature gives people to un- 
derstand people. After reading Ham- 
let, for example, one learns certain 
essential characteristics about 
human beings and maybe a little 
about the nature of good and evil, so 
the result of having read the play is 
the ability to function more harmoni- 
ously in human affairs and the ability 
to make the world a little nicer place 
to live.

Dining Hall Fogged 



Is This Any Way To Kill Roaches? 



By JEAN SMITH 

Seacobeck, the Mary Washington 
College dining hall has made several 
changes. The new Director of Food 
Services, George Servant, is in 
charge of the ARA food plan. ARA 
was first introduced to Mary Wash- 
ington last fall with an "open ended" 
contract. It brought a variety of 
choices to the daily menu including 
three different entrees at both lunch 
and dinner. Last fall frozen yogurt 
was introduced as a desrsert and this 



fall the south dining hall is a "soup 
and sandiwch" hall. Is there a possi- 
bility of another crawling bug prob- 
lem. 

Last winter, many students wit- 
nessed an increase in the number of 
roaches in the dining hall. This was 
explained by Servant as a side effect ' 
of an effort to control the pest prob- 
lem. The entire building was 
"fogged" with a toxic roach poison. 
Since the poison hit the breeding 
areas, many roaches started "moving 
out" and the problem became obvi- 



Nighthawks To Soar 



By LEE DICKEN 
/ The Nighthawks are not one of the 
bands that you hear regularly on the 
top fourty radio stations. Neverthe- 
less, if you are a D.C. resident and 
make it downtown at all you might 
know that the Nighthawks are regu- 
larly featured at different clubs and 
discos in the district. 
. Immediately, whenever tho word 
disco is mentioned images of white 
dancing suits and lighted dance floors 
pop into one's head, and the songs of 
Andy Gibb and The Bee Gees flit 
through the mind. The Nighthawks 
are the complete opposite of disco 
though. In fact the group is rather 
seedy looking. The lead vocalist and 
lead guitarist both have tattoos up 
and down their arms. They don't even 
have matching outfits unless you call 
T-shirts matching. Make no mistake, 
they know lots of good songs, many of 
them extremely danceable. Most are 
pirated from other people, but with 
five albums released and their song- 
writing talents improving, they're 
starting to write more and more of the 
music they play. • 

What type of music is it then f Most 
people would classify it as blues or 
rhythm and blues, but this group has 
no qualms about rock & roll because 
that is something they can do very 
well. You can decide this for yourself 
when they come and play in G.W. on 
October 13. 

They are an exciting band to watch . 
The lead guitarist plays his instru- 
ment above his head and behind his 
back without missing a note. The 
thing that gives the group it's own dis- 
tinctive sound, aside from the excel- 
lent guitar work is the lead vocalist's 



ability to play the harmonica. This in- 
strument has to take the place of a 
piano or horn section because it's only 
a four man band. Needless to say, you 
will hear it played as never before. 

After seeing them, this author 
wouldn't be surprised if they make it 
really big. All they need is airplay on 
the radio stations. The only way to 
find out is to sit back and wait. But 
since you have to wait, why not sit in 
G.W. (or stand if you please) and lis- 
ten to the Nighthawks.

Thank you, Dr. Overman 

I took that out of your notebook 



ous. Now before every semester (in- 
cluding this one) and at all school 
breaks, Seacobeck will be "fogged." 
Hopefully, this will hault the situation 
before it gets crawling again. 

Everyday the handling of large 
amounts of food must be done in a 
smooth routine. I>ast Christmas new, 
modern equipment was installed. Cer- 
tain foods such as fruit and salads 
must be prepared before meals. Other 
foods are cooked as needed. The 
grilled food is fixed in larger quanti- 
ties, whereas vegetables are cooked 
in smaller ones. Constantly the dishes 
are washed, the floors are mopped, 
and the trash disposed. 

Seacobeck is just like any other 
business with problems of its own. No 
change can occur unless it has sug- 
gestions with which to build. If you 
have any suggestions, voice them, 
and help Seacobeck as well as your- 
selves.

This argument sounds nice and 
maybe a little portion of it is true, but 
it is also a little fallacious. Literature 
may aid society by teaching people 
what it means to be a human being, 
but by and large it has never appealed 

to, or directly aided anyone not a 
member of an elite group which has 
had the wealth and leisure to pursue 
activities unrelated to making a liv- 
ing. The world of literature is, after 
all, a kind of self-contained ball roll- 
ing through time, letting people in and 
out according to their ability to pay 
the price of admission. 

If given the opportunity, perhaps 
literature could do as much for uni- 
versal happiness as, say, history and 
tradition do for the happiness of the 
people of Fredericksburg. But I am 
being deliberately skeptical about the 
social utility of literature because I

see my peers, whether in English, 
psychology, biology, or economics, 
making unexamined assumptions 
about the social utility of their disci- 
plines. 

Trying to hold no illusion about fi- 
nancial success or social utility, I re- 
alized that like many of my friends 
who are English majors, I read and 
study literature simply because I 
enjoy it. When put together in the 
right way words can entertain, 
soothe, excite, and touch a soft spot in 
the heart, yet— what most people 
seem to ignore— literature is a serious 
intellectual discipline demanding the 
ability to think clearly and organize 
ideas in such a way as to be commu- 
nicable to others. 

Everyone should ask themselves 
what they expect to get from a college 
education. If an answer centers 
around the desire to be socially use- 
ful, then I would advise this person to 
give the tuition he or she pays to MWC 
to some poor people of Fredericks-

people with future financial security, 
then I would question that person's in- 
dependence. I would suggest that this 
Washie is a slave to the system in 
which people link happiness with ma- 
terial wealth, a system in which 
something like the Best Products cat- 
alogue is the bible for earthly happi- 
ness. 

Fortunately, most college students 
and many Americans have known fi- 
nancial security, and have also known 
that happiness does not necessarily 
accompany such security. If MWC 
students could temper their eager- 
ness to do social good, if they could 
quit worrying about financial secu- 
rity, then MWC might well stop being 



a human zoo, where everyone is 
doubting the validity of the pursuits of 
everyone else, where the various dis- 
ciplines and other students pursuing 
these disciplines exist in intellectual 
isolation. A college should be a place 
where the common assumption of all 
is that the pursuit of knowledge is 
worthwhile in itself and needs no so- 
cial, and certainly no financial justifi- 
cation. 

Author's note: I shall refer to a stu- 
dent at MWC as a "Washie" until 
someone informs me of a more suita- 
ble nickname for students here— pref- 
erably something derivable from our 
newly acquired team name, the "Blue 
Tide."

Looking Back To 
Hale on '75 



By RUTH SPIVEY 
As a senior, full of years and hon- 
ors, it is my duty as well as my right 
to reflect at length, when asked (as by 
this meritorious publication), upon 
the golden days of my youth, other- 
wise known as MY FRESHMAN 
YEAR. 

Elder statesmen such as myself are 
prone to avoid such disclosures, striv- 
ing to maintain an air of sophisticat- 
ion if not dignity. (We have a wicked 
tendency to perpetuate the myth that 
we have always been seniors. ) In the 
interests of science, posterity, and my 
editors, however, I have undertaken 
to break that vow and reveal my sor- 
did past. It is not a pretty story. 

Listen my children, and you shall 
hear ... a tale of woe. Anything you 
suffered, my class suffered more of, 
we suffer anything better than you! 
Moving day the temperature broke 
100°, the humidity about 200°. Uncer- 
tain of closet space, I was traveling 
light (1 trunk, 2 suitcases, a traincase, 
and 4 boxes), only to be confronted 
with 4 flights of stairs and a father 
who wasn't getting any younger. It 
was, quite literally, the pits, i.e., Mar- 
shall Dorm. 

To this day, the rest of that first 
week remains a blur, due to what is no 
doubt a purely Freudian mental 
block. The days were chaotic and the 
nights were stifling. There were end- 
less get-togethers on the order of 
Meet-Your-Student-Officers and 
Meet-the-Administration and Meet- 
Your-Fellow-Victims. I went any and 
everywhere I was told to go, provid- 
ing they promised to furnish Cokes— 
which they usually did. Evenings 
were spent in the company of merry 
creatures known as Junior Counsel- 
ors. They plied me with popcorn, read 
aloud from the Student Handbook, in- 
sisted I dress up for Honor Convoca- 
tion, and taught the lyrics of the dorm 
song. (In my case it was the "RVA," 
Remaining Virgins of America— lines 
on request only.) Come night, not a 
few of my comrades and I would 
abandon our clinging sheets for the 
coolness of the floor, where we would 
lie, contemplating the morrow. 

Unfortunately the morrow usually 
held even more terrors. Madison 
dorm was to be passed only on the op- 
posite side of the street because, 
well— blush— they just sat there on 
that gosh-awful open porch and 
STARED. On my way to Seacobeck or 
the P.O., I always prudently crossed 
the road near ACL. All that trouble 
just to get to the dining hall. In those 



simpler times — has it only been 4 
years?— you didn't have to show ah 
ID, and the lines were shorter. Big 
deal. Home cooking it wasn't. Some 
things don't change! 

I never seemed to have any mail, 
but it was considered good form to 
open the box anyway, blow out the 
dust, and wail, "Nobody loves me." 
After that orgy of self-pity, it was on 
to better things, like being totally 
screwed up by your friendly neighbor- 
hood Student Adviser. But honestly, I 
got the like G.W. It was air-condi- 
tioned. And Lord knows, nothing else 
around here was, with the exception 
of the library, where I spent so much 
time the guard suspected that per- 
haps I wasn't so literary-minded after 
all, only hot. 

No, youngsters, ACL wasn't always 
air conditioned. Why, I can remember 
standing in line there for three hours 
to register ... no, we didn't have 
computers then, either. Only poor, 
slaving professors sweating behind 
department tables stacked high with 
valuable registration cards. It was 
slow and it was steamy, but if all else 
failed, by golly, you could cry to get in 
a class. I know. Try that with a com- 
puter! 

Of course, no matter how MWC pro- 
gresses, there are still human con- 
tacts one can never escape. Like 
death and taxes, the Freshman Mixer 

is inevitable. Mine should have been 
billed, "More Marines Than There 
' Are Stars In Heaven." Townies were 
out in force ioo, so we got the long and 
short of matters, so to speak. In ac- 
cord with JC instructions, I danced a 
little and watched a lot. Right off 1 
knew MWC was going to provide me 
with an enlightening education. 

I feel as if I should end this narra.- 
tive with some words of uplift and in- 
spiration. For the freshman, things 
can only get better. And if some fresh 
out there have had the gall to have a 
great beginning season, then who is to 
say to what heights they ma3 ascend 
in future years? If, in contemplating 
our beautiful campus, your musings 
are of the vilest sort (banish th£ 
thought!), but wait. Even as I pen 
these lines, I find myself over- 
whelmed by fond (?) memories'. 
You'll find you've enjoyed it: as Bo- 
gart said in Casablanca, ". . . maybe 
not today, maybe not tomorrow, but 
someday soon, and for the rest of your 
life." Play it again, Sam!

Seasons Free Confusion 



By LISA ANN GRAZIOSE 

Spinning within the nucleus of my 
confusion, 
seeing in 3-D and watching for : 

pink elephants, knights on white 
horses, and voluptuous pewter goblets 
of red, red, wine. 

Sitting crosslegged in this gyre of 
infinity, 

searching outside the nausea 
for the deaths of rows and piles of 
black silk top hats in Macy's. 

Wondering why your less than a 
smile 

sits like the finish of Grandmother's 
seven course Italian supper in my 
belly. 

Did you know that real leather 
smells of autumn, dead leaves, and 
auburn skies? 

Did you know that I 
in January? 



(In the tropics that is.) 

I knew and I still kept spinning in 
the pit of this funnel-like world where 
j'habite. 

Pulling in thoughts 
through the gash in my brain 
attempting with every 
of sweat 



sirabletoyou, 
kneading into pulp 

all the yeast and water and dough 
with which I will determine my pur- 
pose, 

I still swim with the salmon in the 
springtime of my life, 
giving way to God 

and to my lovers 

who lie awake at night with me 

still circling and seeking the doors 
of my mind 
till winter comes to the mountains.

teen positions are open for this ex- 
traordinary but highly competitive 
opportunity. 

President Lyndon B. Johnson estab- 
lished the program in 1964 to give out- 
standing younger Americans firs- 
thand experience in the process of 
governing of the nation. The White 
House Fellowship program is a non- 
partisan effort to draw in a few of the 
brightest and most promising people 
from all over the country to work at a 
unique level in the Federal govern- 
ment for a year.

Presidents Nixon, Ford, and Carter 
have continued the Fellowship pro- 
gram with a high level of support. 
President Carter has removed the 
specific age limitations. The program 
is now open to all those who are early 
in their careers. Fellows have been 
chosen from a wide variety of careers 
and professions including law, medi- 
cine, teaching, state and local govern- 
ment and the arts. 

The Fellows serve for one year, usu- 
ally as a special assistant to the Vice 
President, a member of the Presi- 
dent's Cabinet, or to a presidential as- 
sistant. The Fellows may be involved 
in the development of special pro- 
grams, assist in speech writing, en-
